Question

discuss the salt march to make clear why it was an effective symbol of resistance against colonialism

Answer 1

This march was able to mobilise millions of people across the Indian continent and was instrumental in the eventual liberation of India.

The 78 volunteers who set out on the march from Ahmedabad in India walked through 700 000 villages, for 24 days, over 245 miles, reaching Dandi after mobilising millions of villagers on the way and influencing millions of people elsewhere to embark on similar campaigns in other provinces of India.

It was indeed an amazing feat, taking into account there were no cell phones, no computers, no film industry and no television yet they were able to have footage of the march, media was present all the way and the world was informed of what was happening.

It was 33 years later, on August 28, 1963, that the march on Washington DC took place, involving 250000 people protesting segregation and job discrimination against African Americans.

This year, we also observe the 50th anniversary of the April 4, 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.

Non-violent struggle took root in the US and in South Africa, and many other parts of the world.
